Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Key on the hook by the screen door
Mud from my cleats on the tile
Mom’s voice floatin’ down that hallway
Dad’s laugh carry for a mile
Height marks carved in the pantry
Crooked lines, dates in pen
Every scratch on that old black table
Got a who, got a why, got a when
[Chorus]
So this is the front porch goodbye
One last swing, one last sky
Every nail, every frame, sayin’ stay, but I drive
I’m packin’ up the echoes, leavin’ what I can’t revive
Yeah, this is the front porch
This is the front porch goodbye
[Verse 2]
I rap to myself in the driveway
Windows up, late night, heart loud
First kiss pressed by the side gate
Fumbled words, we were kids, all proud
Christmas lights tangled in August
Box fan hummin’ in June
Every storm, we counted the seconds
‘Tween the crack and the boom
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Box in my hands, but it’s heavy with years
Bike in the rafters, dust and gears
Bedroom poster hangin’ by a thread
Like it knows it’s the last time it hangs over my bed
[spoken, half-rap]
I see spilled milk, spilled secrets, slammed doors, bad grades
Late dinners, late games, long talks, sun-fade
Every doorframe knows my name
And I’m drivin’ off, but it stays the same
[Chorus]
[Outro]
[whispered vocals]
Leave the key under the mat
Turn and lock it from outside
Take a breath, don’t look back
Let the past stay alive where it lives, not where I hide
